Its been years since I started chewing on my fingernails and sometimes on the skin on my thumb. Its become a bad habit. My mother and some of my classmates tell me to stop because its disturbing.

Is this normal?

    It's a bad habit but an extremely common one too. You can end up with nasty skin growths and other problems further down the line.

    Try lightly applying something to your nails that tastes disgusting, Don't pick something that's unhealthy to ingest or irritates skin.
